Getting ready

You'll need the following pieces of information:

The ID of the snapshot you wish to restore from
A name or identifier that you wish to give to the database we're about to create

AWS does not allow RDS services in your account to share the same identifier. If the source database is still online you'll need to make sure to choose a different identifier (or rename the source database).
